There’s been tears, tantrums and even a cheeky flash every now and again but as the eighth series of Dancing On Ice draws to a close Guilty Pleasures take a look at ten of this year’s DOI highlights…

10. Anthea Turner pops a rib

Anthea Turner’s Dancing On Ice hopes hung in the balance when she popped a rib during rehearsals for her duel routine with X Factor winner Shayne Ward in week three. Luckily the 52-year-old TV presenter managed to pull through with a bit of respite and the help of a hot water bottle, although she got eliminated the following week after losing the skate-off to Keith Chegwin.

9. Beth Tweddle’s bum flash

Olympic gymnast Beth Tweddle gave viewers an unexpected bum flash in week 5 when her skating partner Dan Whiston accidentally lifted up her skirt and revealed her pert behind to the crowd. Prior to the cheeky mishap their steamy performance to Emeli Sandé’s hit track Clown saw the pair go in for a kiss before teasingly pulling away.

Oona King’s skate-off with rugby star Gareth Thomas went awry when her professional dance partner Mark Henretty dislocated his shoulder live on air in week three. As the couple took to the ice Henretty fell and was whisked off for medical treatment. His shoulder was popped back in to place but the Labour politician got the boot anyway.

7. Pamela Anderson gets the boot

Pamela Anderson was shipped over from the States under the assumption she was going to be the big draw for this year’s series of DOI. Unfortunately, her fat paycheck was all for nothing as the 45-year-old Baywatch babe was eliminated in week one.

6. Gareth Thomas forced to pull out of semi-final

Welsh rugby star Gareth Thomas was forced to pull out of the final after motion sickness got the better of him as he worked the high wires on last week’s show. The public vote was cancelled meaning boxer Luke Campbell, Beth Tweddle and ex-EastEnders star Matt Lapinskas sailed through to the final.

5. Shayne Ward gets the chop, despite Matt Lapinskas’ slip

Shayne Ward was left shocked and stunned after he was voted off the show following his skate-off with Matt in week five. Although soap star Matt had been consistently better throughout the series, he took a tumble on the ice when it mattered most. However, the judges – all except Jason Gardiner – ignored the slip and Shayne suffered the consequences. Ouch!

As speculation surrounding Samia Ghadie and Sylvain Longchambon’s blossoming romance reached fever pitch, Jason Gardiner threw a spanner in the works when he pulled the couple up on their close connection in week four. ‘There’s a lot of chemistry between you, I wonder why,’ he quipped.

2. Jason Gardiner tells Lauren Goodger she has the sensuality of a walrus

TOWIE star Lauren Goodger was dealt a humiliating blow when acid-tongued Gardiner compared her to a walrus in week two. Jason drew gasps from the crowd when he told the reality TV star, who has openly battled with her weight: ‘There was no connection, no heart. There was no sensuality… it had the sensuality of a walrus on ice,’ in the wake of her routine to Alicia Keys’ Girl On Fire. Needless to say Lauren was given the heave-ho after losing out to Anthea Turner in the skate-off.

1. Pammy’s boob falls out during Keith Chegwin skate-off

She was the first out of the competition but Pamela Anderson managed to get in a serious boob flash during her fleeting stint on the show. The embarrassing wardrobe malfunction caused her to slip on the ice during her skate-off with Keith Chegwin and even her famous assets could not secure her a place in the next round. Shrugging off the nip slip afterwards, she said: ‘My dress came off and my boobs fell out. It happens.’
